Interesting, indeed.
We have an open access computer (I'm on it now)in the office where I'm working. Visitors are encouraged to surf around.
One of the websites visited is FreeRepublic. Depending on what is on at the time, visitors can get the opinion that FreeRepublic constituents are vile, rude, hateful, illiterate or they are compassionate, erudite, intelligent, polite.

I wasn't here at the time, but there is a screenprint here on the wall wherein a I.N.S. employee posted (on Free Republic) a cartoon of a man urinating on the Mexican national flag. The poster is allegedly a INS employee in Arizona working on the USA/Mexican border (and a former U.S.Marine!)
The screenprint was captured by a intern from Univerisity of Arizona who shared her find with her schoolmates and with a local Congressman's office.

She (intern) is still livid. She'll graduate from law school next spring and I imagine she'll have an animated opinion of FreeRepublic for some time.

Yes, her name sounds Mexican, as does the Congressman's.

Freedom of speech does have responsibilities.

I've seen actual photos of Mexicans in the U.S. waving the Mexican flag while simultaneously ripping up the U.S. flag. I wonder if she'd be as upset over that?
